Home from having surgery
Feb 28, 2010
Hello all my friends. I am finally home from having surgery. There is no place like home! Surgery went well and I feel good. I ended up going in for surgery about 11:30am. Last I remember I was laying in the surgery room and switching from my bed to the surgery table. after that I was out. I woke up later in recovery and made it to my room around 4pm. I was very tired after surgery. Dr. Boone told my husband everything went smooth. My blood sugar level went up to around 300 after surgery and it took about 1 day and a half for it to go down, not because any sugar I had but from a reaction from the surgery. It also took the anesthesia a while to wear off of me. I pretty much was out of it and slept till Saturday 2/27 till about 4 pm when I felt like i was awake and myself again. Because of this and with me sleeping SO much, I was not able to sip and eat like the doctors would have liked to see me do so they kept me in an extra night which was fine, i felt like i needed the extra night. Walking definitely helps!!! and taking deep breaths whenever you get you can will help also. Dr. Boone was great and all the nurses at Fresno Heart and Surgical were awesome. The hospital was very nice. On the way home we stopped at the grocery store and i felt good walking around. I was looking for these sugar free banana Popsicles they had at the hospital but the grocery store didn't have them 
oh-well i got some other flavors. Anyhow I feel better than I thought and I can't wait to sleep in my own bed tonight. Thanks everyone for your support. I didn't read most of my messages until now. everyone on here has been very supportive and I'm so glad this site exist! until next time...my post-op appt. is on wed 3/3/10...I'll let everyone know how that goes! xoxo
